The members of our panel of Apprentice 2 viewers were surprised that Donald Trump unceremoniously sent Bradford packing last week. Tonight, a week after they sold gelato on the streets of Manhattan, the two teams will try to get passers-by to try a new flavor of Crest. Here's who our panelists think will shine the brightest. (The Apprentice 2 airs at 9 p.m. on Channels 5, 2.)
Aaron Baba, 42, Reading: Now that he has been sent packing so soon, I suspect the Apex team will now play rough and mean with each other, and the next casualty will be either Stacie J. or Ivana. Surprisingly, the Mosaic team appears to be getting its act together. But Pamela continues to act snobbish and detached from the rest of the team; her exit from the show is not far away.
Doug Browning, 35, Anderson Township: They all could have been fired including Jennifer C. Actually, all the women on the Apex team should have been fired because it's plain and simple - sex sells and always will. I still feel Maria and Pamela have the opportunity for a long run. Jennifer M. definitely made a positive impression with some of her comments. As far as Stacie J. - nothing more needs to be said.
Brooke Goode, 34, Milford: Jennifer C., who I formerly thought was a weak link, did a great job promoting and selling Apex's product. I've changed my mind about her. I still think Stacy R., the short attorney, is the one to watch. I predict Stacie J. will go in the next couple of weeks and/or Andy. I also predict Raj will have to leave the show after running out of bow ties and becoming addicted to doughnut ice cream.
Nicole McWhorter, 30, Clifton: I honestly believe that when you try to conspire to get someone else fired, it will blow up in your face, which is what happened with Stacie J. (good for her). She doesn't stand a chance if she is taken back in there again.
